The number of atoms in two formula units of potassium nitrate is 10.
The polyatomic ion in KNO3 (potassium nitrate) is NO3- , the nitrate ion. This ion is polyatomic because it contains four atoms bonded together. The nitrate ion is derived from nitric acid, HNO3.
Chromium(III) nitrate is not made of molecules. It is ionic. There are 4 ions in one formula of chromium(III) nitrate.
Potassium Nitrate (aka, Saltpeter or Niter) is chemically, KNO3. It contains 3 Elements ... Potassium (K) Nitrogen (N) and Oxygen (O)
The chemical formula for potassium nitrate is KNO3, which means that one molecule contains five atoms. Therefore, four molecules of potassium nitrate would contain 20 atoms.
Magnesium nitrate is MgNO3 and there are one magnesium atom one nitrogen atom three oxygen atoms no potassium atoms

If by "pair atoms" you mean molecules, and by potassium and oxygen you mean potassium oxide, then molecules can not be described as metals or nonmentals. Potassium is a metal, while oxygen is nonmetal.
Potassium nitrate is indeed an ionic compound. However, the multiple atoms in the nitrate ions within it are covalently to one another.
3KNO3, so 9 oxygen atoms.

The potassium ion (K+) is ionically bonded with the nitrate ion (NO3-) , however Within the nitrate ion three oxygen atoms are bonded to a central nitrogen atom through covalent bonds.
